The Rotaract European Meeting (REM) 2025 will take place in Prague from 23 to 26 January 2025. This major event will bring together participants from 38 countries for a rich program focused on strengthening international cooperation, cultural exchange, and leadership development. Originally, the plan was to host approximately 300 attendees in Prague. However, due to overwhelming interest, we have decided to increase capacity and now expect 480 participants! The enthusiasm was evident during ticket sales, with all four waves selling out in just two minutes.

What can Rotaractors look forward to during REM?
